PRESENTED BY CINDY AMBUEHL & BLAIR CHANG OF THE AGENCY 424.321.4947 600EASTRUSTIC.COM LIST PRICE $18.5 MILLION long driveway shielding the residence from the view of neighboring homes. The rhythmic f low of a nearby creek is another barrier against the intrusion of the outside world. The f inal jewel in the crown of this spectacular property is its two homes. A tranquil courtyard bestows a quiet mysticism on the main home, an impression conf irmed by its interior featuring vaulted skylights and expansive windows that bathe the core rooms in natural light. Soaring exposed beam ceilings, polished concrete f loors and a two-story gallery emphasize the transcendent effect. Even the kitchen rises above utilitarian. Here, French doors turn the galley-style space into a haven, elevated by Wolf and Miele appliances and a large, eat-in marble center island. One of the main space's more remarkable features is its ability to morph from private to public and back with ease, providing both an intimate background for everyday living and an elegant and gracious environment for large- scale entertaining. Take, as one example, the industrial-style, sliding wall that separates the open dining room from the kitchen. Closed, it capably hides the intricate maneuverings of a private chef; open, it fosters an easy f low. R E A L E S TAT E | 6 0 0 E . R U S T I C R O A D Upstairs, the trio of en-suite bedrooms, one with a private deck overlooking the creek, reinforces the feeling of peace and tranquility that pervades this home. Certainly it's in the sanctuary of the two- story master suite. Showcasing hardwood f loors, a private wood deck, and an expansive dressing room, the space is capped off by an upper- f loor bathing spa, surrounded by a clever combination of windows and mirrors that immerse the space in the sights and sounds of the canyon. Here is where stress evaporates. The standalone, two-bedroom, three-bath guest house, meanwhile, with its spacious living room, full kitchen and wraparound deck, is similarly aware of its magnif icent setting. Offering guests the holy grail of autonomy, the space grants a small glimpse into a lifestyle where access and privacy are the twin pillars of luxury, available to only a privileged few. Call it divine design. The feeling is heavenly.
